Overview

• Most paths in Tegeler Forst are open again, with short, work-related closures possible.
• Off-path safety work has not been carried out, so visitors are urged to remain on marked routes.
• Forest managers will leave about 85% of storm-felled wood in place and remove a small share for regional sawmills and the JVA Tegel workshop.
• Officials estimate roughly 35,000 to 40,000 cubic meters of damaged timber from the summer storms, with Tegel the hardest hit.
• No large-scale planting is planned, as deadwood structures help retain moisture, shade soil, and protect young trees, and fire risk is not considered elevated.
